Bubble Guppies is an animated musical preschool sketch comedy (fantasy comedy in Season 5 onwards) show created by Jonny Belt and Robert Scull (who would later create Butterbean's Cafe together). The series premiered on Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. block on January 24, 2011.Each episode follows the adventures of a group of mer-children and the lessons they learn at their underwater preschool. Along the way, they sing, dance, and have imaginary adventures while exploring concepts of the episode's theme, such as pet care, the solar system, or how to run a restaurant.The show initially wrapped in 2016 after four seasons. Production ended, and the show's creators moved on to make a new series titled Butterbean's Café. It was rebooted in June 2019, and a new character, Zooli, joined. The fifth season, which premiered on September 27, also switched to a new format where the story segment takes up a majority of the episode. The Gil and Molly sketches, dance songs and field trips are removed, and the lunch jokes are incorporated into the narrative.On June 30th, 2023, the series finale, titled "See You Later, Alligator!" aired, bringing the show's 12-year run to a close. | |

Bubble Guppies / int_146f4e0 | comment |
Blind Without 'Em: The scuba mask Nonny wears is the underwater equivalent of glasses. When he breaks them in "Come To Your Senses", it causes his vision to be blurry and spends the majority of the episode without them until they're fixed in the end. | |

Voluntary Shape Shifting: The Flutter Guppies and the Snowy Guppy in "The Puppy and the Ring" can become swarms of butterflies and a polar bear respectively. This leads to a hilarious moment where The Snowy Guppy in his polar bear form answers his phone just as is about to attack Molly, Gil, and the Flutter Guppies. | |

When Gil and Molly point out that she can't change anyone into frogs, the witch says she still has her original Mean Green Bubble Potion. Cue Oh, Crap! from the main cast. | |

Strictly Formula | |
Bubble Guppies / int_3f1aadeb | comment |
Strictly Formula: Molly and Gil host a Cold Open where Gil keeps interrupting Molly with whatever is the subject of the episode. Cue theme song. One of the kids goes to school and encounters some sort of situation. Everyone gathers for school, the featured character tells the situation going on, and they think about it. Cue a song. The kids play store, have lunch where the third makes a food joke, followed by another Molly/Gil sketch. The kids play, they think more, then they go outside and play pretend, followed by coming back inside for a dance. Cue a third Molly/Gil sketch. The kids go on a field trip which resolves the situation as seen in the beginning, and the show concludes with the last Molly/Gil sketch and a reprise of the theme song. However, the end credits both use every pop song at the end of every episode. For the story sequences: Two or three of the characters are doing some sort of activity, but are followed by something seemingly dangerous. They cater to two major obstacles before whatever was following them appears and reveals they were Good All Along and needed help. So they help that character, and they live Happily Ever After. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: In the first season, the dance song comes before the story segment; in later seasons, these were switched around. Season 1 was the only season where multiple Guppies each took turns as the shop owners and giving the food jokes. Starting in Season 2, Deema is the usual shop owner (with Goby sometimes filling in), while Nonny is the usual food joke giver. | |

Meaningful Name | |
Bubble Guppies / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Molly and Goby are named for small fish similar to guppies, while Gil is named for an important part of fish anatomy. Zooli's name is a pun on "zoology", and the character is interested in animals. "The Police Cop-etition" features Officer Miranda, as in the Miranda warning (you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, etc). | |

Bubble Guppies / int_70377a97 | comment |
Transforming Conforming: "The New Guppy". In her debut episode, Zooli tricks the Sea Witch into transformining into a seadragon. Unfortunately for the Sea Witch, she didn't realize that despite its formidable name, the seadragon is a small fish related to a sea horse. She becomes too small to wield the magical object granting her the power to change form, and Zooli captures it before the Sea Witch can undo the change. | |

Token Human: The six Bubble Guppies are the only mer-people seen on the show thus far, the rest of the population consisting of entirelly sea creatures. It's subverted in the fourth season when we see Molly's sister and a pop star named Stylee, both mer-people, and in the fifth season which features new Guppy Zooli. This is even lampshaded in this song. | |

Bubble Guppies / int_7b21ef92 | comment |
Later-Installment Weirdness: The fifth season introduced a new format for its first couple of episodes that is vastly different than the original run. The introduction is shortened, Molly and Gil's sketches are excluded, the Guppies aren't shown going to school in the beginning, there is no shop segment, dance song or field trip, and the outside segment comes after the pop song and lasts the majority of the episode. After the story, as the Guppies go back in, Mr. Grouper waves goodbye to the viewer before the reprise of the theme. | |

Our Mermaids Are Different: The guppies themselves are typical mermaids, but we also have mer-dogs, mer-cows, mer-horses... basically all land animals are mer-creatures in this show. | |

Free-Range Children | |
Bubble Guppies / int_84c5ec0b | comment |
Free-Range Children: Never addressed directly, but the guppies walk to school by themselves, although sometimes another guppy may join them. They also tend to go on very improbable field trips for preschoolers, including some random kid's house for a sleepover, camping in the woods, and the mall. Who's signing these permission slips? | |

ColdOpen | |
Bubble Guppies / int_b5785433 | comment |
Molly and Gil host a Cold Open where Gil keeps interrupting Molly with whatever is the subject of the episode. Cue theme song. One of the kids goes to school and encounters some sort of situation. Everyone gathers for school, the featured character tells the situation going on, and they think about it. Cue a song. The kids play store, have lunch where the third makes a food joke, followed by another Molly/Gil sketch. The kids play, they think more, then they go outside and play pretend, followed by coming back inside for a dance. Cue a third Molly/Gil sketch. The kids go on a field trip which resolves the situation as seen in the beginning, and the show concludes with the last Molly/Gil sketch and a reprise of the theme song. However, the end credits both use every pop song at the end of every episode. | |

Bubble Guppies / int_bef696dd | comment |
Mind Screw: The characters are all either mermaids or aquatic life, implying that the series would take place underwater. However, the majority of the settings consist of above-water like aspects such as trees and grass. It could be Justified by the fact that bubbles are often seen rising around them, however in some of the Story sketches the characters are blatantly above water (etc. there is running water in the background, or on the moon) and there are still bubbles rising. Added to this that in the episode "The Moon Rocks!", the spaceship they travel in appears to be rising out of somewhere in Canada. In the camping episode, they build a bonfire. Underwater. | |

Shout-Out: In the episode "Who's Gonna Play the Big Bad Wolf?", if you look into the background during the Shop sketch, you can see a picture depicting a lobster wearing a very familiar mask. In "Build Me a Building!", Goby says, "It's Hammertime!" during the dance segment. Deema also says it in "The Ultra Spy Tool!" at the start of the episode. "THE WHITE WHALE!!" In "Can You Dig It?", the recess segment is titled "Tricera-COPS" Oona says "Bye Bye Birdie!" in "Boy Meets Squirrel!" The title of that episode. The finale of "Humunga-Truck". "Who's Gonna Play the Big Bad Wolf?" The magic mirror in the fairy tale episode looks like the genie in Pee-wee's Playhouse. "The Puppy and the Ring" is one to The Lord of the Rings. Goby even says "You Shall Not Pass!!" The title and field trip segment of "The Wizard of Oz-Tralia!" is an obvious The Wizard of Oz parody, with Molly obviously playing Dorothy. | |

Water Is Air | |
Bubble Guppies / int_e03c448e | comment |
Water Is Air: Hoo boy. There are cars and trucks that make normal engine sounds. There are trees. There are things in the "air" that pretty much stand in for clouds (very non-puffy, but easily mistaken for being clouds that look this way due to the animation style, and if not clouds, what the halibut are they? The background turns colors the sky can be but water should never be. Characters do swim, but mostly hovering over the ground at the exact height they'd be standing if they had legs. It's to the point that when you see someone swim upward or otherwise move as if they are under water, you will say "wait, what?!" Amusingly, though, the Disney Acid Sequences do have them more believably underwater. | |

Birthday Episode | |
Bubble Guppies / int_f8e52439 | comment |
Birthday Episode: "A Dolphin is a Guppy's Best Friend!" ends with the Guppies going to Buddy the dolphin's first birthday party. "Secret Agent Nonny!" focuses on Nonny going on a mission to deliver secret messages to the other agents, played by the Guppies. The plot twist? These messages were all invitations to his birthday party! ""Fogzilla"'s plot revolves around lighthouse keeper Deema's birthday, and how a monster named Fogzilla keeps blowing out the lighthouse, preventing the birthday cake to be delivered. | |
